The experiment was carried out to appraise the effect of grafting time and environment on the graft success of guava (Psidium guajava Linn.) under wedge grafting in 2009–2010. It was found that controlled environment (when scion shoot covered with poly tube) was best in all the attributes. The observation were recorded on days taken to graft sprouting, per cent graft sprouting, per cent graft survival and per cent graft mortality. It was found that maximum per cent graft sprouting and per cent graft survival was in 15th February grafting under controlled environment and minimum days taken to graft sprouting in 15th April under open field condition and mortality percentage was minimum in treatment seventh.
